EveryMatrix extends position as fastest growing iGaming supplier with twin 2024 acquisitions
EveryMatrix’s rapid growth trajectory continued in Q3 2024 yet again setting record net revenue and delivering a sixth consecutive profit margin of more than 50%, boosted by two major casino and sports acquisitions in the last five months.
The global tier-1 business, that has seen headcount rise 31% Year-on-Year (YoY) to 1,188 following two all-cash acquisitions of FSB Technology in June and, post period, Fantasma Games in October, confirmed its status as the fastest growing iGaming technology supplier with another set of stellar financial results.
Unveiling Q3 2024 results EveryMatrix set a record high quarterly net revenue of €45 million across all products, up 66% YoY, while recording an EBITDA margin of 52%. Q3 EBITDA stood at €23m, up 71% YoY.
The sixth consecutive 50%+ quarterly profit margin was driven by new customer launches, continued growth in its core sports and casino business units and further bolstered by strong sports trading margins.
FUTUREPROOFING THE GROUP WITH VALUE-ADDING ACQUISITIONS
The EveryMatrix Group significantly bolstered future success, further market penetration and a strong pipeline of new customers with two value-adding acquisitions: FSB Technology and Fantasma Games.
FSB Technology has added approximately 15% additional Gross Gaming Revenue (GGR) to the Group’s sportsbook business unit volumes with customer migration on schedule. This includes UK operator BetGoodwin that agreed a multi-year deal to expand its use of EveryMatrix’s turnkey sports and casino technology.
The acquisition has also strengthened key areas of the business, including the OddsMatrix sportsbook, by doubling the trading and quants team to enhance personalisation within managed odds and risk services.
Fantasma Games, one of the fastest growing young casino studios in the industry, was added to the Group in October. The integration of the Fantasma Games team will bring strong commercial, technical, and creative skills.
EveryMatrix customers will benefit significantly with the immediate addition of well-known titles that are already live with more than 250 operators and played by millions of players across 50+ countries.
Fantasma Games’ market distribution will also boost EveryMatrix’s presence in rapidly growing markets such as North America where the industry’s fastest growing technology provider has ambitious plans to build on its established partnerships with tier-1 brands.
CORE BUSINESS UNITS EXPERIENCE ACCELERATED GROWTH
Q3 2024 GGR for operator partners within the Casino business unit generated a twelfth consecutive record quarterly performance of €709m, up 53% YoY with GGR for the last 12 months at €2.6 billion, a 63% YoY increase.
Quarterly casino net revenue improved to €23.8m, up 78% YoY while EBITDA reached €14.9m reflecting a 95% YoY increase. The SlotMatrix aggregation product introduced a total of 970 unique game titles and integrated 10 new vendors bringing the total to more than 170, well above any other aggregator worldwide.
OddsMatrix quarterly sportsbook turnover climbed to 87% YoY to €1.5bn and €5.3bn for the last 12 months reflecting a 60% YoY increase, while last 12 months GGR rose by 158% YoY to €361.9m.

The number of successful payment transactions reached €4.4bn in Q3, a 91% YoY increase.
The Affiliate division, including PartnerMatrix and PartnerMatrix Intelligence, launched a new website combining affiliate software and affiliate intelligence products under one proposition. The business unit reached 82 active clients, an 11% QoQ increase and saw net revenue reach €1.4m in Q3 2024, up 13% YoY. EBITDA decreased -€0.25m due to continued product and commercial investment.
Ebbe Groes, Group CEO of EveryMatrix, said: “The last few months have been some of the busiest since we founded the company 16 years ago; continuing to drive record GGR for our customers, launching more tier-1 operators and making two significant acquisitions that have instantly added value to the wider Group and that will futureproof both our sports and games divisions.
“As a result of these deals we expect to see even more growth and profitability as we migrate more FSB customers to our technologies and our Games division accelerates production and distribution to become a significant global studio.
“We are the clear frontrunner when it comes to being the fastest growing iGaming supplier.”
